mazzo Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Hi My nearside window mechanism has broken. There are two plastic clips that fit onto the runners, connecting to both ends of the winder cables. The clips have broken (with age rather than abuse) and so the mechanism is totally US. Ford and VW will not sell the plastic clips. Ford want Quote
ben hudson Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Hi, If its for elec windows, i had the same problem. waited to see if any came available in scrap yards, no joy ended up going to trevor@fordpartsuk.com, they helped a lot, new all the bits i wanted and talk through the removal. Delivered to the door was Quote
Sharanfx Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 VW do regulator repair kit that are just the cables and the clips. Not sure if they do one for the Sharan though. Quote
mazzo Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Posted April 27, 2005 Thanks for the answers so far. Very interested to know if the clips and cables are available seperately. When I spoke to VW they said I could only get a complete unit, but dealerships have been wrong before. My motor is fine, so idealy I don't want to have to buy a complete unit with motor. It's just how difficult it is to fit old motor to new mechanism. Quote
Sharanfx Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Motor is just 4 bolts, recently swaped one myself. Tip: If you find the window goes the opposite way when you press a button then you have put the motor on 180 degrees in reverse. Quote
mazzo Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Posted May 1, 2005 Thanks for the last reply. Will go for it. When you say it was four bolts, did you have to do anything with the cable? Quote
